Proper Aging of Beer
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008Many beers made in this modern age are not suitable for aging. Some craft and micro-brewed ales can be enjoyed much more fully by aging them a short amount of time, however! Beers containing a medium to high level of alcohol are the best candidates for ageing. Proper aging of beer can bring out exceptionally flavorful taste differences than drinking the beer early on. Beers of the barley wine style can even benefit from aging for as many as ten years! Subtle differences in the play of the malt and hop character of properly aged beers can be a great treat for the discerning beer fan.
